Has anyone here tried fitting a hydraulic clutch to their R or seen anyone else doing it?
The reason I ask is riding my R through very rocky technical sections and climbs like I did this last weekend on the Kzn Bash ride, my left wrist took real strain, so much so that by the end of the ride I could hardly manage to pull my clutch in, resulting in a few unnecessary stalls. If I compare my R's clutch to that of a new KTM hydraulic clutch there is just no comparison, the hydraulic clutch is just miles ahead.
For general dirt road riding I have no problem with the clutch, but after 5 hours of hard tech riding a nice light hydraulic clutch would be a godsend.
I see there are a few kits available on e-bay, so was wondering if anyone had either thought of this or tried it themselves.
